Specification
Description
Bimiralisib, also known as PQR309, is an orally bioavailable pan inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3K) and inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), with potential antineoplastic activity. PI3K/mTOR kinase inhibitor PQR309 inhibits the PI3K kinase isoforms alpha, beta, gamma and delta and, to a lesser extent, mTOR kinase, which may result in tumor cell apoptosis and growth inhibition in cells overexpressing PI3K/mTOR. Activation of the PI3K/mTOR pathway promotes cell growth, survival, and resistance to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

In Vitro Activity
The results of a CCK-8 assay revealed a significant suppressive effect of PQR309 on U87 and U251 cells. The results indicated that the viability of the cells was significantly (P<0.05) suppressed in a dose- and time-dependent manner after the cells were treated with PQR309 (0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 µM) after 72 h (Fig. 1B). The colony formation rates of treated U87 and U251 cells decreased in various concentration groups compared to the control (Fig. 1C-D). According to these results, the IC50 values of PQR309 were 7.104 (95% CI, 5.6-8.5) and 11.986 (95% CI, 10.6-13.4) in U87 and U251 cells, respectively.

In Vivo Activity
Rats were injected with 2 × 107 human PC3 prostate cancer cells into one flank and randomized after 16 days. From day 17 the control group received vehicle once daily. Compound 1 (bimiralisib) was orally administered at 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg (both daily, QD), or 15 mg/kg [5 consecutive days, 2 days off drug (QD × 5, 2 days off)] for 28 days to match the timelines of regulatory toxicology studies. Treatment with 1 led to significant tumor size reductions: tumor growth was inhibited dose-dependently (best T/C of 31-12%, Figure 6A). Compound 1 was best tolerated at 5 mg/kg without significant body weight changes (Figure 6B). At 10 mg/kg, 1 caused a reduction of body weight, which accumulated to a reduction of 15% after 28 days of treatment. Similarly, 15 mg/kg of 1 led to body weight loss after 5 days of treatment, which was reversible during the recovery period. After 28 days of drug exposure (day 44 of the experiment), animals with body weight loss fully recovered within a treatment-free period (days 45-50) without overt signs of tumor cell proliferation. In a subsequent treatment period tumor growth remained inhibited and body weight loss was only observed in the 15 mg/kg group.
